Before that, I think my absence for a few days proves what I always claimed (and cannot prove due to the subject line) i.e. if there are no posts for days on end this board will simply go the way of ADVFN chat and dry up! New investors will think there is nothing here for them, in any way, and move on to another stock. We need them!

LTH and I, all know that it is too near Xmas for us to get a word out of Botswana or Australia but come 12th night we'll be more expectant.

You will have noticed LSE now force you to register to be even able to view posts and anything else on TLOU and other stocks. I rarely log out so I was unaware they send a login request if you are not logged in.

This is what ADVFN have always insisted on to use the advanced features (such as posting).
My search engine had to be programmed to recognise their login request (I think everyone is logged out on Sundays to force them to log back in) and send back my login info!

Happily not a problem on LSE for reading posts! Until now!

A while ago I said my search engine was playing up! I was getting back blank pages instead of posts! I was filtering out everything that was not a post , so I never saw the login requests!!!!!

Debugging , revealed this message ,

I was not sure if it was from LSE, or Avast or elsewhere?
I am still not sure but think it is Avast sensing the unsolicited login request, and sending it to Quantcast as a potential threat. Quantcast are given this reference ?referer=www.lse.co.uk and the html that includes the threat. They then offer you options to accept the risk or not - which my search engine does not handle at all, nor would you expect it to.

I finally twigged this after a week ...... one of the drawbacks of working at home .... nobody to bounce ideas off .... often, just asking the question makes you realise where the problem lies because you have to explain it slowly but surely!

I have to decide how much I want to search LSE , and whether it is worth the effort of handling the login request! I suppose I could kick off with a request for the login screen
https://www.lse.co.uk/login.html

I'll leave you there and get back to problem solving.

Tobias Ellwood , a Bournemouth Tory MP (who distinguished himself after terrorist activity at Westminster) was on TV after the last Andrew Marr show on BBC , and showed how out of touch the Tories are!!!! He seemed to think Bournemouth are heading back to the Premiership?

Not sure where Boris is going to end up but the Premiership for him and my football team are a million miles off unless either of them can perform miracles! I hope I end up with egg on my face at the end of the season - at least we are only 2 top players down currently with a few short of match fitness above the neck! 3 sitters missed at Boro could have been a win, their keeper had nothing to save all match , our

Not merry for me , the 11th was my Golden Anniversary , and today , 5 days later was the day my younger brother died , age 21 , in a motorcycle crash. His previous crash, a year or so earlier, resulted in his being hospitalised in Exeter, where I visited him.
He was expected to be released during the week, so I took the week off work.
Come Saturday , he was still an in-patient , so after visiting I went to an Exeter night club where I met my missus for the very first time. The last time I saw him was as best man at our wedding!
I hope the two of them are in a place where they can enjoy this Xmas together, they both loved Xmas.
I'm convinced he was put on this earth to bring my wife and me together , if there is such a possibility. Since Liz passed I am not the atheist I was before - the robin and butterfly episodes defy logic imho, especially when Poppy ignored a robin flying round the bedroom with the windows shut and blinds closed - and me trying to catch it! So out of character - she reacts to things I have not even heard - but she just lay peacefully in her bed thoughout - from me coming up the stairs to the bird finally flying out of the window with the lights off. They were alone for quite a few seconds while I climbed the stairs. I simply do not have an explanation - there must have been something happening which is beyond my comprehension. Poppy must have sensed something? And does she still? She has never seemed to mope.

Sorry to be a misery .... but don't let that you stop having a good Xmas everybody!

I have tried to illustrate why I say the daily sp is not as important as some claim.
I generated 5 series of prices, ever increasing or static , to remove the complications of trading.
With an ever increasing price, sells and buys can reduce your holding or cost you money.

I have highlighted in GREEN squares , the highest sp and therefore the highest value , in the appropriate column (series).
You will see all 5 series have topped the chart at various points!

It seems so obviously true but the graph hopefully brings it home to those who cannot visualise it?
The ceiling is determined randomly and varies from run to run , but 55p to 60p is not a bad start!

Plusnet texted me that my B/B and Phone is due to run out and the renewal is going up from £24 to £36 plus a few pennies on each.

Thought I'd have to look around for a better deal!

Logged in to find a special offer (an Offcom instruction apparently that they have to offer) which is unlimited fibre and phone line for £22 over 18 months starting tomorrow and rising to £38 in 18 months! Fingers crossed the same thing will happen in 18 months!

They advertise £22 to new customers on TV which has cheesed me off a bit - so Offcom seem to concur with that gorgonzola! I just need Lewis Hamilton on medium tyres to be leading Verstappen on soft tyres after their first tyre changes and this could be a glorous day!

Will Mercedes persuade Valteri to ram Verstappen's car before Verstappen does it to Lewis?
We need a rule change so you cannot win a title by ramming opponents and taking both cars out of the race!!!! So I'd support Max if Valteri does do that for a £1M bonus, say!
And that opens up the same tactic using Perez!!!! Hope it is a clean fight!!!!

Live on Channel 4 in case you don't know , coverage startes at midday!!!!

Not sure what happened there - I'll blame it on the wine.
I must have had two sessions going and a wordpad session that I cut and pasted twice at different times? On my wedding day we went to Bude, and visited the Bull at Stratton for dinner. I had a brand new Morris 1100 hire car (300 miles on the clock) and when we left the pub I could not get the key to turn in ignition! In winter after 11pm in those days there was nobody much around. I spotted a couple in another 1100 and flagged them down! He put some WD40 on the key to no avail! Had to ring the AA with my only 10p or shilling coin from a phone box to be told they had recently lost their partner garage in that area but they'd try to get someone to us!

Eventually bloke arrived , grabbed the steering wheel , gave it a bloody great yank (thought he was going to break it) and it was sorted! Budget refunded the cost. The bloke realised we were newly weds and joked that I was putting off the wedding night :O)
Little did he know we had a baby on the way! And 50 years on, to the day , I have my second issue with a key, this time , on the motorbike. I'm trying to remember if we had Chateauneuf at the Bull , it is possible.

I'll stop reminiscing there - yesterday was a difficult day.

HB2, you should write Cryptic crosswords, you completely los me there!

Quest EFL was very disappointing tonight. They did not show the obvious offside that lead to the first goal which was one of the many errors by the yellow flagged assisant ref! He was leaning forward throughout as if he could not see the width of the pitch and was never in line with the final defender! AS BOB will tell you , a photo finish in horse racing needs a camera to be exactly on the line - optical illusions abound otherwise!

Blackburn had very few chances and took 2 of them , Cherries had loads of goal-mouth melees which on a good day would have resulted in a win but it really was not our day against a very negative football team! Help from the ref who gave a free kick every time a player dived with a blue and white short irritated everyone - he was their twelfth man , the lino , their thirteenth!"

The weather forecast showed a 10% chance of rain so I risked taking the motorbike! With about 20 minutes to spare , the fuel light came on! I stopped at a petrol station and filled up , but after I paid, I could not find my keys!
With trousers , waterproof over-trousers, fleece , and motor cycle jacket , I probably had coming on for 20 pockets to check!
My visor was huffing up and was useless,so my glasses were therefore open to the elements - 90% rain was more like it!
Eventually I could feel the keys in one of my jacket pockets, but which time I'd taken off the helmet, jacket etc!
There was an almost hidden pocket in my jacket where I 'd managed to put the keys - so I missed k.o. by 9 minutes! Missed Nonny and the David Brooks tributes.

Celebrated my Golden Anniversary tonight with a bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape, La Fiole du Pape, https://nlliquor.com/product/la-fiole-du-pape-chateauneuf-du-pape/, which was very special, the first bottle of wine I have opened since the funeral 3 years ago! Absolutely gorgeous!

Lloyd Kelly came on for Steve Cook, but was very ring rusty , Billing , Lerma , Zemura, and Adam Smith were all missing , so we were not at our strongest! Will we be promoted? Parker took Anthony off (my fav Cherry whilst Zemura is out!) and kept Lowe on until the end! I reckon not, he has a weird opinion of players! We also have a Leeds youngster on loan, Leif Davis , who is brilliant but does not even get onto the pitch as a sub! He prefers Rob Brady who imho is not too bad but not in the same league as Leif! Perhaps he is hoping to sign Leif permanently and if he does not play regularly then the price comes down? Or is he missing out on how good he is?

I got the 2-0 right , but Cherries failed to get the added time (6 minutes) equalisers, but was that what I meant?

So, Moagi admits he is a crackpot and anybody with half a brain knows he lies.
Earlier in the year I posted this
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1347fOeYQ6QscxwHTr-1Q4eLs3CSsVCK3/view?usp=sharing
which suggested Donkey40 was using me to give him the platform to repeat his codswallop until I got wise!
So the crud followed me over here eventually!

My link was close to the truth , but there is now an alternative slant on his seemingly stupid methods!
If he is not lying, and he owns a considerable number of TLOU shares , it justifies the time and effort he puts into TLOU.
If he really is a crackpot , FLICK knows what he is trying to achieve , only he will see the method in his madness!

My conclusion may appear egotistical , which is not my purpose here , but it makes sense , something I live for!

My theory is that he loves reading what I have to say about TG and he feels he cannot improve upon my thoughts!
That is very believable if he is a crackpot!

If he said as much, as he repeatedly shared the bits he likes it would be monotonous and would be classed as ramping!
He loves rampers i.e. MM , so he has tried , with precious little success , to get MM to repeat his ramps but calling him a clown or worse! But good old Brad has had a history of taking the bait so that is where he focuses his attention!

He has been using me as a ramper if I am right!

Do I respect him for being clever - he only has to pick , say lateral wells , say what a waste of money they are - and muggins will justify lateral wells which is what he wanted to do?

No he is an effing idiot! He has ignored the damage he is doing in saying TG is wasting money (in that example)!

The popular belief is that these boards have little or no impact on the sp!
I am certain that is wrong - I back myself against the world and have done all my life - I once got a doughnut from my maths teacher because the whole class came up with the same answer but I contradicted them all and was proved right!
I went to Grammar at 13+ , and he must have have looked at my paper, because he asked me was 5/15 reduces to?
Obviouslt 1/3! Then why did you answer 1/5 says he! Was it a poorly written 3 or a mental aberration? Teachers loved me or hated me as a child. I deliberately failed my 11+ because I thought my mother had put me down for Wellington School and no way was I going to wear full school uniform on a Saturday morning and walk through the town as a day-boy!!! So I went to a Secondary Modern for 2 years. My primary school Head came to the house to inform my parents of the new 13+ which she said I must take and if there are problems to let her know!

The Headmaster of the Sec Mod took my mother and me to the interview in Taunton!
He stressed that I needed to push my outside interests because Robert Giles had passed the inaugeral 13+ the previous year and when asked about his interests he only had "trainspotting" long before Danny Boyle!
tbc

......

Robert was in the same Scout troop as me and we had an Easter jamboree in the Blackdown hills over the long weekend!
He was an only child and on Easter Sunday he ruddy parents collected him to go to church! I guess they brought him back but I cannot remember.

I think in the early days that TLOU read these pages, and have acted on the content. I remember there being confusion amongst posters about what we were targetting.
Some thought , correctly , that we intended to generate electricity from methane, others clearly thought we were still going to deliver CBM gas , the original intention!

I was conscious of Colm , in particular , but TG maybe too , of referring to CBM power!

I find is hard to believe that any potential investor who knows about the LSE chatroom will buy shares for the first time without looking at LSE.
The history charts for the sp might be the first port of call but the chatroom will be next if the chart looks ok.
If you are not going to be persuaded by the quality of the chat then why look?

Donkey is oblivious to the the damage he has done - blinkered vision sees what it wants to!
Too many ramps are a turn off - looks like desperation - but does Donkey see that?
If he is invested for the long term he knows today's market price is immaterial.

Nobody who invests in shares can be as stupid as him can they?

Lordy - his word is worth nothing.

He made a record years ago ..... yer tis!

I think I know why he knows Botswana shuts down for 6 weeks?
The companies there with latrines need a sludge gulper once a year - and Moagi is your man!!
He spends the rest of his time on here shovelling ..it , rehearsals?
"Where there's muck there's brass" is his motto!

Covid does not effect his trade , because nobody can suffer being near him! True whether sludge gulping or posting carp!

I have not read his posts which is a shame - it looks like they could be full of ammunition - a veritable Arsenal.

And Gary Cahill - cannot believe we have him - Jefferson Lerma may be suspended too for his red card which did not help with one of the draws?

Blackburn would be a great scalp now their results have improved. Probably the best current form in the division after a poor start to the season.

It depends how many of our first team return, Jeff.
Zemura, Steve Cook, Adam Smith, David Brooks (cancer) , and Billing have been absent in different combinations for a month.

How Brooks played so well (with Adam Smith) with undiagnosed lymphoma is incredible.
We have 1 minute’s applause and a David Brooks ( our no 7 shirt) chant in the 7th minute of each game.

Last week we had the first video of Nonny who has lead the “Red Army” chant all his short life (51) before k.o. And they are repeating that for all our home games this season!

Zemura and Anthony supplemented the other two on the right by doing their stuff down the left but Zemura has a long term injury I think.

Billing was suspended for the one he missed.

Steve Cook , our captain, is back and getting some match fitness over a few games. Looked good on the TV last time! 2-0 going into time added is my tip and from there a Desmond would repeat history!

Late goals were responsible for those draws - with Steve Cook on form , hopefully , not again tomorrow!

Jeff, thank you for that post , if you knew Kenner and his many disguises since the days LSE enforced bans 100% , you'd realise he attacks the posters whose boots he is unfit to lick!!

He still mentions Tidd now who stopped posting here years ago!
My youngest sion is extremely discerning and in the days he invested in shares , he picked out Tidd as being a great poster. I suspect MM is the most respected poster on her (judging by his ticks) so when hthe Kenner attacks me it is a back-handed compliment though he is too thick to realise that!

As Nugacity , I challenged his leadership on the ADVFN/TLOU chatroom and he has latched on to my backside ever since!
Just like a dog greeting another dog going to the less savoury parts first!

When I post , it is only my opinion - I'd rather people say why they disagree than keep quiet! And saying I am an idiot is not the issue - it is the point I made that needs discussion!

If I am wrong, I want to know why I am wrong , how else do you learn anything?
Kenner is the exception to all of this. He thinks he is better than all of us which shows how stupid he is!

If anybody wants to know when to buy (i.e. we reach the bottom of the trough) then wait for Chukkers to return to the fold is my advice! I'd look up whethe Kenner criticised Chukkers on here (odds on he did) but I have hard coded him so I cannot!!!!
It is so difficult to be perfect - Kenner won't agree!

An aside ....

Why did they call Wolverine, the character, that name?
On Jeremy Vine, the answer is that the toadlike Wolverine creature will deliberately break the bones in its feet if it is attacked and pretends they are claws to frighten the attacker away!!!! Moagi does that, he breaks his nose to spite his face :O)
Have a good weekend all non-filtered ones!

Moagi, can you stop making my posts look like lettuce sandwiches?
They are surrounded by green lines every time I post - go back to Advfn where they dislike you less that on this board!
You are history to me chummy! In other words just FLICK OFF!

Just think of what you have missed out by wasting your time here - You and Chukkers are a revelation of bad and good investors! As you say about me , OFTEN , nobody cares! About you!

At this point I would normally check your posts in case the context of my reply creates a wrong impression!
This is the last time I post to you personally!!!! RIP!

Only two deals on ASX.
Moagi posts ignored so not a clue what he moaned about.

I claim it is totally irrelevant how much the share is below your minimum sell price - if you are not going to sell or use the value of your assets for financial purposes ( as security for a loan ? tbh I cannot think of a reason) -
the delta amount does not matter!

Taking this further , I have considered forward thinkers who may well agree with that philosophy - (Chukkers comes to mind, as well as my mate who had to sell his Sirius shares during his divorce. The jammy bugger had to take 28p and muggins got about 5p years later!) .

But Chukkers is worth looking at (sorry to intrude on your privacy if you see this, but it is a good story),
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TWlcz4pEEKYehPpKKnCqixY48NQOpjD6/view?usp=sharing

Chukkers has not lost a TLOU penny since that post (if he only got 3p he no doubt lost out before) and can buy back in at any time! He is a genius because I see he sold AFTER getting his options so he won't even lose out on the possibility of a nice earner there either!

I might peruse his history to see if his alternative investments worked?
I respected Chukkers during his TLOU days , looking at WHR , and the date he left TLOU , I think I should have followed his lead!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bWd7U3Hm1dQElajVb9rhlBdfmTVfUvZk/view?usp=sharing

There might be a lot of prodigal sons using his template - well done Chukkers!
I wonder if he'll time his return well, if he does! I'm too cowardly to gamble when lift-off happens - I expect it to be a pretty steep curve when it does!

I have checked how many Toyotas there are across the world during a level playing field i.e. diesel or petrol!

Soon most of those listed companies (plus some new names) will be competing for sales of expensive electric vehicles!

But Toyota, under current plans , will not be in that rat race - they are looking towards hydrogen car and the market looks to be all their's unless they want to make JCB type vehicles?
Hydrogen cars will probably be a lot cheaper, can be filled in seconds rather than charging electric cars for hours, not to be mention how long the life of the vehicles will be? And then disposal of batteries will be the next problem.

I knew Toyota's were popular from my travels (in Jamaica I had a Toyota Tercel for a fortnight and drove through floods in the Blue Mountains in a thunderstorm) and it kept going! Well we did wait for 30 minutes next to the River Swift! There was a flash waterfall crossing the little road into the Swift and I feared it would wash us (me and the missus) into the river!

Liz never showed fear but she did that day! We'd driven through a temporary pond across the road previously , and turning back meant we'd have to cross it again and it might be deeper! It was, but we did it!

That night , on the TV , they announced a mother and child were washed away while using a ford to cross the River Swift and died in their vehicle (which was bigger than the Tercel).

My next car in the UK was a Toyota!

Fingers crossed for S.M. being successful - Hydrogen will be needed everywhere if Toyota are also successful (and why won't they be?).

Jeff, very careless of me, family is a given (generally) but out of sight is out of mind I guess.
I have seen both sons during Covid but we are not keen to tempt fate because both have had it.
Have had my booster and downloaded my Covid passport , surprisingly it expires on 8th January, my ticket for the Hull match is after that.

An uncrossing trade today at 2.6p has set the sp. I am puzzled why they are needed with so few trades? Tidies the order book , another reason for having L2 , perhaps £7.20 per month is worth it.

You might think it is peanuts , but my old age pension is so low , and dustmen are now getting the freelance rates that used to be good in my day! And train driving too?

My County Council pension is just enough to for my rates and football matches - as long as I do not drink! I took a reduced pension so my wife would get it for 10 years instead of the default , 5 years, after I died about 2 months before she was diagnosed with cancer! Never dreamt I'd outlive her! I'd be struggling if we had not paid off the mortgage years ago! I ought to downsize or let the 4 empty bedrooms (which would increase my rates for a single occupier) but my younger son helped a mate out and let him share his place! He came with Covid that he kindly shared (unknowingly I hope).

And indeed the Eastern back, no trades on ASX last night.
It will be obvious to readers of the board that there are very few regular posters on the chat room.
Maybe a dozen or so?

The silent majority are my concern, and because they are silent , I get no feedback from anything I say!

And then there is troll from ADVFN, who has been banned from posting on LSE for years , but with the advent of VPN , has managed to get himself established on here.

IMHO, and from what several regular posters have said , he peddles hsalf truths and downright lies and makes misassumptions galore i.e. his presence is detrimental to everything surrounding this chatroom and TLOU themselves.

From the responses to our posts it has been unclear if the majority believe him or me - we agree about absolutely nothing!

So there has benn a chicken and egg situation - which I have been conscious off - and have tried to filter him and asked him to filter me (along with everyone else who object to my posts).

It is the undeserved criticism of TG that will not let me rest. TG will not cheapen himself by posting on here , so I have had to repeatedly defend TG for as long as nobody else did!

All my life, I have tried to be honest and present all the alternatives whether good, bad or indifferent! Usually my preference shines through but I remember one occasion when the System Analyst in my project team once chose the wrong option and I wish I had left it out!

I have to confess that 90% of my off-topic postings were to wind up my adversary who has tried to shut me up (and have a clear runway all to himself)? No way!

To cut this short, Ithere was a post yesterday that made it apparent that a revered poster on here sees me as I hoped to be appreciated, so I intend to leave the runway open and let my adversary crash land on it by honouring the filter process I have made possible!

A few of the silent majority might open up as a consquence which wouldbe perfect.

I might still mention Poppy sometimes because she, TLOU and the Cherries are my only reason for living since Covid struck!

Pros of London South East Level 2
Competitively priced at £23.99 a month
Cons of London South East Level 2
Unreliable
Few additional features for charting

ADVFN Level 2
ADVFN is similar to London South East as it is a UK-focused stock market company that offers both free and premium bulletin boards to discuss stocks. There are also paid-for newsletters. It also offers advertising packages again for companies wishing to attract the attention of private investors.
Pros of ADVFN Level 2
ADVFN has tabs where the Level 2 window can be changed to a different stock in the same browser
Has basic charting included
Cons of ADVFN Level 2
Relatively expensive at £58.08 for a Level 2 service

No wonder ADVFN is appealing? But it proves MfmM was right - not for me currently.
